Toronto Mayor Rob Ford returns from rehab

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford returns to work Monday after a seven-week stint in rehab.

They'll be talking about Rob Ford's return on Metro Morning today. At 7:13 a.m. city hall watcher Hamutal Dotan of Torontoist will weigh in. If you're in Toronto you can listen on 99.1 FM. If you're not near a radio or live outside the city, you can stream the audio live here.

The mayor is scheduled to speak at 3:30 p.m. ET and won't take reporters' questions. Also, some journalists who regularly cover city hall won't be allowed inside the room where Ford is speaking. This is causing some blow back on Twitter.

In this open letter, city hall press gallery president David Nickle calls for all reporters to be admitted to the mayor's news conference. Nickle essentially says restricting access is thwarting democracy here. He also says there are spaces at city hall that could accommodate all members of the gallery.
